;Modern Wiki Engine
:We have a website that supports multi-level namespaces, and where any character can be in the title. We have an auto-completing search box, to help you find pages faster. (And the suggestions the search box offers are all live links, so you open any of them to a new tab without waiting for a results screen first.) We run all web traffic through SSL. We have an editor that doesn't rely on weird hacks to display page captions, but actually has buttons to help you with formatting. Once you get used to the [[Help:Editing|new syntax]], you find it's quite easy to work with and much more flexible.
:[[User:Labster|I]]'ve chatted over dinner with Patrick Michaud, the author of PmWiki. I like him a lot. And his wiki software has seen better days. He's moved on to become part of the [http://perl6.org/ Perl 6] project, and so we should move on too.
;No Advertising
:We're not going to annoy you with ads, and we plan to stay that way. We won't be influenced by corporations to regulate our content, just from the income. If you want to help with the upkeep of our servers, you can [[m:Donate|Donate]] to Miraheze to help cover our costs. Or not. It's entirely up to you.
:Just so we're clear, embedded videos may feature ads from the video-hosting site. We have no control over these ads, nor do we profit from them. It is your right to use browser add-ons to disable these advertisements.
;No Anti-Ad-Blocking Shenanigans
:TV Tropes actively attempts to subvert ad-blocking and ad-disabling technologies in its users' browsers, and when it can't, tries to make using its wiki with them enabled annoying or inconvenience (see "Better Search Tools" below for one example).
